Ezekiel 34:2-4

2 (A)“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord God: (B)Ah, shepherds of Israel (C)who have been feeding yourselves! (D)Should not shepherds feed the sheep? 3 (E)You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, (F)you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep. 4 (G)The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, (H)the injured you have not bound up, (I)the strayed you have not brought back, (J)the lost you have not sought, and with force and (K)harshness you have ruled them.

Romans 5:13-21
English Standard Version
13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but (A)sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not (B)like the transgression of Adam, (C)who was a type of (D)the one who was to come.
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for (E)many. 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For (F)the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought (G)justification. 17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness (H)reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
18 Therefore, as one trespass[a] led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness[b] leads to justification and life for (I)all men. 19 For as by the one man's (J)disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's (K)obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 Now (L)the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, (M)grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, (N)as sin reigned in death, (O)grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
